Which of the following functions from Z to Z are bijections?

(b) f(x) = x + 2
(c) f(x) = 2x + 1
(d) f(x) = x2 + 1

Solution

Given: f : Z → Z

(a) f(x) = x3

It is one-one but not onto.

Thus, it is not bijective.

(b) f(x) = x + 2

It is one-one and onto.

Thus, it is bijective.

(c) f(x) = 2x + 1

It is one-one but not onto.

Thus, it is not bijective.

(d) f(x) = x2 + 1

It is neither one-one nor onto.

Thus, it is not bijective.

Hence, the correct option is (b).
